Myndnet: Profit from Your Business Acumen

Myndnet has launched what it calls “the Information Marketplace” at DEMOfall. The service is focused on business users, utilizing a question and answer format where professionals are paid for providing good information. The marketplace features topics such as questions from recruiters, people looking for market research data, and salespeople looking for leads. Myndnet also offers a widget that its partners can post to their web site and earn revenue for referring members to the site.

CEO Daniel Hodges says, "Our goal is to pay where the value is created, and to charge for the value delivered. If you need information, ask our members. If you have knowledge, we have the buyers."

It sounds like a similar model to Google Answers, which met its death late last year. Nonetheless, LinkedIn Answers has been gaining some traction with the professional audience, so we’ll see if the potential to earn revenue for your business knowledge is a winning formula.
